Fall Home Tour 2020: Cozy Vintage Eclectic Entryway
Fall is one of my favorite times of year to decorate! I love the feeling of walking into our home and instantly being greeted with this cozy nook. Every year, I decorate my home with my my favorite fall decor. I try to always reuse some old favorites, but it’s always fun to add in some new fall finds as well! This year, I repurposed my vintage equestrian gallery wall in the entryway. You may recognize some of these pieces, as the were once above this area of my home, in the corner of the staircase. I love the way they fill this space! All of the dried stems I used are available at the Amsden! They are the perfect soft touch for any space.
DIY Giant Built-In Wall Desk {Updated}
I shared this DIY wall desk I put together a few months back but today I wanted to share an update with even more ideas for customizing this on your own! With school starting virtual and many families needing a dedicated place for their kids to work, I thought it would be a perfect time to share this project again! This is pretty affordable and easy to do, and is great for creating a large workspace with plenty of storage. I listed and linked the items I used, as well as the steps of how to put it together! I have loved have this workspace and have been using it constantly- it’s so comfortable and sits at the perfect height for crafting, art projects, or working on my computer.
My DIY Greenhouse
Well if you’ve been following for a while you know that last year for mother’s day, Alex bought me a cute little greenhouse. I have always dreamed of having a greenhouse so I was beyond thrilled. It came in a tiny box with a million pieces and took forever to put together! I loved it so much and featured it here.

One Room Challenge: Playroom Makeover - FINAL REVEAL!
I can’t believe week 8 is already here and that somehow I got this playroom DONE! I must admit, I took on a few too many DIY projects with this one but I also had so much FUN each step of the way. I learned a lot and we now have an amazing playroom for JW that I know he will enjoy for many, many years to come. Not to mention, my husband and I love this space so much that we have even been hanging out in here after he’s already asleep at night! If you’ve been following me on social media, you’ve likely already seen some after photos of the space but this post will be a complete round up of every project, every item linked to shop, and overall my design process for the entire space!
One Room Challenge: Playroom Makeover Week 7 Update: Music Corner
Week 7 is wrapping up and although you may not be able to tell from these photos, the rest of the room is a disaster zone! I’ve got about a million projects going on and one more week to finish them all up! I can’t believe how quickly the past 7 weeks have flown by! This week I completed this little music corner centered around the piano.
One Room Challenge Playroom Makeover: Week 6 Update
This week was all about the walls! I made more progress on the DIY stenciled wallpaper wall and also added some fun new additions to the book wall (read more about that here)! Check out the videos below for a peek at the process for both of these. I also explained more in depth the DIY wallpaper process in week four’s post here. I started peeling the painter’s tape off of a couple sections and it was so exciting to see the completed look. I just have one more section to go before we are done!
One Room Challenge Week 5 Update: Book Wall
This week we finished up what will probably be my favorite part of the playroom: the book wall! I knew I wanted a large part of the playroom dedicated to books/reading and a spot to display our massive vintage children’s book collection. I decided to have some book ledges/shelves custom made to the exact dimensions I wanted as opposed to buying pre-made shelves and piecing them together. MK Farmhouse Furniture was able to custom build these for me so reasonably (seriously cheaper than I would have paid for store-bought shelves AND he installed them too).
